United bid victory has MLS and USMNT players excited for lead-up to 2026

Many American soccer fans woke up on Wednesday morning to the news that the United States-led united bid had defeated Morocco and been voted as host of the 2026 World Cup . Tyler Adams was already awake. Still re-adjusting to the time change after his recent week with the U.S. national team in Europe, the New York Red Bulls midfielder was up well before the vote was decided, anxiously awaiting word that would affect all Americans, but especially young players like him who could be on the field playing in a World Cup on home soil eight years from now.
